Installing Updates

Downloading Updates

From within ProFrame, select Help/Product Version and record current version.
Go to http://www.proframe1.com/support and select the Support link.
From the Support Home page select the Login button.
At the User Login page, login as proframe unless otherwise stated.
After selecting Login, select the Enter Download Page button. (if you don't see this button try logging in again)
At the Download Page, select the Refresh button.. this should display all available downloads.

Note: The latest update is listed on top.

Step Two

Locate and select the download link just above the version you're running.
Save this download to your hard drive. (do not run at this point) see note below.

Note: We recommend that you create a folder on your hard drive called ProFrame_Updates and save all downloads in this folder. Avoid saving downloads to your desktop.

Repeat Step Two for each update listed above your current version.

At this point: You should have all updates downloaded into your ProFrame_Updates folder. If not repeat Step Two until all necessary updates are downloaded.

Installing Updates

All users should exit ProFrame. (do not install updates while others are working in ProFrame)
Make a backup of your ProFrame system using what ever backup system you have.

Note: Each update must be installed in sequence. Ex: Upd301b, then Upd301c, etc...

Note: Most updates are Free but some are Upgrades that you must purchase.

Exit ProFrame and EasyMenu to your desktop.
Using your Windows Explorer or My Computer locate the ProFrame_Updates folder.

Step Three

Locate the next update to install from within the ProFrame_Updates folder.
Double click that update. (ex: Upd301a.exe) to extract it into your ProFrame folder.
Minimize your Explorer (the ProFrame_Updates folder)
Double click the EasyMenu 3.00 icon (starts EasyMenu)
Highlight Install Patch, ProFrame I option and select the Run button.
(this should indicate a new update has been found, select Continue to install this update)
After update has installed, Exit EasyMenu back to your desktop.

Repeat Step Three for each update.

Note: If you get an Out-Of-Sequence error...

Then run ProFrame (Help/Product Version) and verify what version you're running.
Make sure you're extracting the update into the correct folder.
Some upgrades require a CD installation.
Most Upgrades must be purchased. (ex: v2.0026 must be purchased, you cannot install v2.0026a unless you're running v2.0026)
